I do not really know how this is implemented in the latex package, but I guess I do leave vim for compilation. When I am using vim as a child process of the bash, then it works because it seems to use the parent for compilation. There the environment variables are set correctly in my bashrc.

When I work with gVim (which I generally prefer), then I do not really know where it goes when I compile. It seems to leave vim and invoke some shell where it can use the pdflatex command. However, it apparently does not set the environment variables specified in my bashrc there. For me it would be of great interest to know how to set variables in this environment invoked by gVim.



Thanks,
Christoph
